Probably because Telstra 5G is currently using the same spectrum as 4G. Telstra 5G 2019: 3.5GHz Telstra 5G planned future: 26 - 28GHz

Cloudflare is amazing but in the long-term they're incredibly dangerous to the future of the internet as they further consolidate traffic and power via their network.

The US is an absolute joke of a country. Just vote candidates in who will make universal healthcare a reality rather than spawn new industries to further extract value. /Australian

Their non-standard GraphQL query language is a huge problem to adoption: https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/issues/933 Cloud managed Dgraph instances would also be nice.

Well it's either that or build middleman platforms like Upwork that force workers into bidding wars and fight over scraps to survive. You can either make the world a better place for many, or just enrich yourself.

I understand broke founders who go after the boring startup projects with the goal to just make money. But once you have money behind you that's your rare opportunity to tackle the profound projects that capitalism doesn't really

Why would a guy with enough personal funds to tackle any project decide to focus on home improvement? How boring and inconsequential to the future of humanity.

So if an unregulated ICO does it, it's bad. But if a regulated ICO does it, that's cool, just regular startup scene behavior. Pump and dump those return multiples on unsophisticated public investors. The VC leeches will love this

by treelovinhippie 7y ago
Boggles my mind that the SEC would give the tick to an ICO with heavily discounted tokens. You gave founders, employees and investors tokens at $0.00012. Then you sold discounted tokens at $0.12. Now you're pumping the pyramid scheme f

At ConsenSys we all called it the "shadow hierarchy". Like any cesspit choked with internal contradictions; it implodes.

Will Facebook make Libra the default payment method across its ecosystem of ~3 billion users? Yes. Is Libra a digital currency created and controlled by an oligarchy ("consortium") of mega-corporations? Yes. Everything else is pro

What Plex install guide did you use? Few months ago I tried to install Plex to a pi already running Pihole but couldn't get it to work.

Hopefully they recognise their niche and stick to it. I'm particularly interested in Svelte for compiling down to vanilla WebComponents to be used in P2P apps (eg Holochain) where you want the end users to be able to modify components

Well that's enough to reinforce my switch to https://svelte.dev I want a JS framework simple enough that even hobbyist devs can understand in an afternoon. React syntax is an overly complicated mess; like reactivity forcing

I've met a hell of a lot of authoritarians in the crypto scene over the past decade. Blockchain technology is a centralized datastore so of course it's a tool for global authoritarianism; think IBM in the 1930s selling slow databa

Nope both. Holochain core is written in Rust and you code distributed apps ("DNA") in Rust. Polkadot core ("Substrate") is written in Rust and you code smart contracts in Rust ("Ink"). Both compile down to WASM

Rust. Holochain, Polkadot and others have adopted Rust to solve these issues.

Because it's not $6.99. It's $6.99 multiplied by every platform silo in which the content you want to view is held captive.

by treelovinhippie 7y ago
The idea is to decouple the content from the platform. So one way you could do it is have the content deployed to an open distributed file storage and streaming protocol (IPFS or Holochain perhaps, blockchain will never scale). Content crea

Torrents. Either the dumb rentier platform wars end in an open streaming protocol standard, or we just stick with piracy. Capitalism is absurdly inefficient.

Still stereotypical capitalist exploitation of workers through economic arbitrage.

If all of these decentralized identity companies truly want an open and self-sovereign system, the big question is: are they willing to shutdown their operations once that is achieved? Or are they all attempting to monetize identity with va

Some ideas: 1) Flash up a QR code (and/or NFC) on the device to allow for crypto payments/buy/sell. 2) Flash up a QR code (and/or NFC) to sell custom store tokens or loyalty points.
